Power to the Portobello! (Portobello Mushrooms Make Great Burger Patties)

portobello1Have you tried the Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burgers at Cheesecake Factory restaurant?

Yum! They taste awesome, and it would be tempting to think that such a choice would be a healthy choice, and maybe even downright low-calorie — at least compared to their other burgers and sandwiches.

Think again. Taking a look at the Cheesecake Factory nutritional info chart, you’ll see that one of those delicious sandwiches are 1,130 calories! AND 19 grams of saturated fat comes with it!

Tonight, I’m trying my hand at simply “roasting” some portobello mushrooms and some pearl onions, tossing in some spices and a bit of olive oil. I won’t be adding any fatty dressing into the burger line-up, but we’ll put a small amount of fresh avocado along with baby spinach plus a LIGHT AMOUNT of grated cheese on our version… Surely, that will be much healthier.

What’s your recipe? If you have one, please share!
